Queen is the top

Shi Qiaohuang was stunned for a while before he understood, and quickly shook his head, "No."

The queen's eyes showed some disappointment. She had been looking forward to news from Shi Yuqing's stomach, but at this moment she was more concerned about Shi Yuqing's condition. She raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Hui suspiciously. A look of not knowing why.

The empress glanced at the tea, shook her head and waved away the suspicion in her heart, only then did everyone see clearly that Concubine Hui had not opened the tea lid, nor had Shi Yuqing drank the tea.

Shi Qiaohuang helped Shi Yuqing follow his heart, Shi Yuqing seemed to be better, took a few deep breaths, and said to the queen: "Please worry about the mother, I may have suffered from a cold, and my stomach is not so good. It’s comfortable so it’s disgusting.”

The queen nodded, seeing that he was still very worried, and said to her teacher Qiao Huang: "In that case, quickly help your brother to rest in my palace, and then you can check him carefully, and when he is better, send someone to find the prince to pick up the jade. You go back."

Shi Qiaohuang blessed him and then helped Shi Yuqing to send him to the back hall. Before leaving, Shi Yuqing glanced at Concubine Hui and said calmly: "I can't drink Concubine Hui's tea, but I don't care about being whipped. Concubine Hui, please don't bring up the matter again, it's better to let the past go."

Concubine Hui couldn't understand the deep meaning of his words, Shi Yuqing had been helped by Shi Qiaohuang into the beaded curtain before she could speak, and quickly disappeared from sight after walking around the screen.

The queen looked at Concubine Hui and said coldly: "I'm a little tired, Concubine Hui, please go back too."

Concubine Hui nodded to bless her body, said "yes" respectfully, raised her eyelids a little, looked at the cup of tea that Shi Yuqing put down on the small table beside the queen, her eyes were dim, she turned around and looked at the magpie , was supported by her to leave Changle Palace.

Shi Yuqing was helped by Shi Qiaohuang into the back hall and sat down on the couch. He drank the water poured by Shi Qiaohuang, leaned on the soft pillow and said to the female officials standing beside him: "Aunts, go get busy. , my sister is here."

Everyone was busy blessing their bodies, bowed their eyebrows and retreated obediently, Shi Yuqing looked out of the screen, and sat up straight when he saw no one was following.

Shi Qiaohuang looked at him puzzled, and was about to ask him to lie down and have a good rest, Shi Yuqing took her hand and whispered in her ear: "Sister, there is poison in the tea."

Shi Qiaohuang was startled, and thought: What's going on?I poured this tea myself, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Shi Yuqing said again, "The tea that Concubine Hui handed me has a faint fragrance mixed with the fragrance of the tea. I vaguely remember that my sister taught me to identify this smell, and it is poisonous."

Shi Qiaohuang was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Why didn't you say it just now?"

Shi Yuqing said: "My sister poured this tea for Concubine Hui. If I say so, I will definitely get my sister into trouble."

Shi Qiaohuang sat next to him and sighed: "You are the one who thought carefully, I was confused, but I poured the tea myself, and no one else handled it. When was it poisoned?"

She thought for a while, and said to Shi Yuqing: "Follow me to explain the situation to Her Majesty the Queen, and I will just find out what kind of poison it is."

Shi Yuqing nodded. The two of them were about to get up and go out when they saw the queen walked in supported by Su Jin, "Yuqing, are you okay, why don't you lie down and rest?"

The two stood up hurriedly, Shi Yuqing stepped forward and helped the queen to sit on the couch, the queen looked at him puzzled, "Are you better? You look much better than before."

Shi Yuqing nodded respectfully, told the queen about the tea, and said: "My queen, I just pretended to be sick in a hurry, and made my mother worry about me. I also ask her to blame me."

The queen and Su Jin were also taken aback after hearing this. The queen clapped Shi Yuqing's hand quickly when she heard Shi Yuqing say this, "Shut up Yuqing, thanks to Yuqing's cleverness, otherwise Concubine Hui will take the opportunity to frame your sister's intentions." If you poison her, then things will be even more difficult to deal with."

There was worry in Shi Yuqing's eyes, "That's what I'm worried about."

Shi Qiaohuang came in with a tea bowl, frowned and smelled the smell in the tea bowl. The tea was cold now, and the smell became more obvious. Shi Qiaohuang nodded solemnly, "It is indeed as Yuqing said, this There is poison in the tea, if Cai Yuqing really drank it just now, he might die of poisoning within three hours."

The queen was terrified, and patted Yuqing's hand in shock, "Thanks to my cleverness, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

After thinking about it, she said puzzledly: "Concubine Hui has been standing in front of everyone just now and has never touched this cup of tea. I also watched carefully when she was pouring the tea. She didn't have a chance to do it. How did the poison come about?" ?”

Su Jin also nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, the slave has been staring at Concubine Hui, it's not because she poisoned her that she never opened the tea lid."

Shi Qiaohuang was also puzzled, "I poured this tea myself. I have always inspected the tea bowls in Your Highness's palace with Aunt Su. There will never be any problems. When did the poison be poured? And how?" What's next?"

The few people were trapped by the timing of the poisoning, and everyone recalled the scene at that time. Shi Yuqing pondered: "I vaguely remember that when Concubine Hui entered the palace, there was a female official behind her, but when Concubine Hui was talking to the queen mother, But I can't see the lady officer."

The empress was startled when he said this, "I said it's no wonder Concubine Hui insisted on getting close to me and talking to me today, she originally wanted to..."

Before she finished speaking, Shi Qiaohuang and Su Jin suddenly realized, Shi Qiaohuang said: "Concubine Hui deliberately blocked the sight of the queen mother and Yuqing, and also pretended to draw everyone's attention to her, in order to cover up the magpie. Poisonous action."

The queen nodded, "I'm just surprised, she has always been very angry, why she apologized to the junior in such a low voice today, it was because of this."

The queen shook her head, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. This person is bad in his bones. I'm afraid he will never get better in this life."

Shi Qiaohuang narrowed his eyes, and said angrily, "Isn't it enough that she gave Yuqing a whip last time? Now that she wants to poison him to death, she really wants to kill him!"

The queen sneered, "I will definitely not let her get what she wants."

She turned her face to look at Shi Yuqing, feeling distressed and worried at the same time, drooping her chest and said, "It's the mother's fault, I shouldn't let you drink that cup of tea, if you really have something good or bad, how can I explain to Jing Yi " After saying that, thinking of He Jingyi, her eyes turned red, and she was afraid in her heart. She had raised He Jingyi for so many years, and she knew his temperament best. If Shi Yuqing made a mistake, He Jingyi might not be able to bear it.

Shi Yuqing saw that the empress was about to cry with guilt, and hurriedly comforted her: "Mother, don't think so, just now Concubine Hui's attitude, even if the empress doesn't say anything, I will take the tea bowl, and then Concubine Hui's methods are vicious, prevent If you are not careful, the queen mother would never think that her female officer would dare to poison in front of everyone."

Shi Yuqing softly said some reasoning to comfort the queen, and gradually persuaded her to get better. This is what He Jingyi saw when he entered the palace.

"What's wrong with the empress?" He Jingyi looked at the empress's flushed eyes and asked with concern.

Before Shi Yuqing opened his mouth, the queen told He Jingyi about the tea just now, and Shi Yuqing pursed her lips when she saw his increasingly gloomy and cold expression.

He Jingyi's deep eyes gathered intense anger, the angrier he got, the calmer he looked on his face, he looked at the tea bowl with a frosty face and said, "Is it this cup of tea?"

Shi Qiao Huang nodded and said, "Exactly."

He Jingyi nodded coldly and said nothing, Shi Yuqing looked at his cold expression and was worried, stepped forward and whispered: "Jingyi."

He Jingyi turned his head to look at his worried expression, lowered his eyes, took a deep breath secretly, and smiled slightly, "I'm fine, Lan Jun."

Seeing that his face had softened, Shi Yuqing felt relieved a little, He Jingyi went to the empress and sat down, and the two of them went back to Zichen Palace together after they said they would be considerate to the empress.

A few days later, news spread from the palace: Magpie, the female official in charge of Concubine Hui's palace, was condemned by God for her many injustices. She bleeds from seven holes and hanged herself in Concubine Hui's bedroom. Her body hung in front of Concubine Hui's bed all night. Concubine Hui, who woke up the next morning, found out that Concubine Hui fainted on the spot from fright, and then fell seriously ill. Cheng Yingzong ordered that Concubine Hui was invaded by Yin Qi and needed to rest, and ordered no one to disturb her. Confined in the Hehe Palace.

In Hehe Palace, Concubine Hui woke up from a nightmare. She hurriedly sat up and looked outside the gauze tent, grabbing the quilt in fear and crying continuously: "Don't come! Don't come! Magpie, you and I are master and servant, you If you die, don't pester me!"

A few female officials on the side quickly stepped forward and lifted the gauze curtain to persuade: "My lady! My lady! What's wrong with you?!"

Concubine Hui scratched her hair in horror and cried endlessly. It would be better when the female officer lit the candles and the room was filled with light.

Concubine Hui was relieved to have someone by her side. After that night, she cried and moved out of the original dormitory and moved into the side hall, but she was still haunted by nightmares and couldn't sleep well all night. I can dream that in the early morning of that day, the magpie stared at her with protruding eyes, sticking out its tongue, bleeding from seven holes, and the hanging corpse was floating under the beam, which made her haggard day by day.

What she is most afraid of is that someone can sneak into her bedroom and kill her cronies without her noticing. This action almost made Concubine Hui believe the rumor that the magpie was murdered Kill.

But she knew in her heart that this matter was done by He Jingyi, only he had the ability, Concubine Hui didn't know how he did it, and there was no evidence to sue him in front of Cheng Yingzong, so she could only clenched her lips angrily. tooth root.

Cheng Yingzong didn't come to see her, but sent more guards. Everyone in the palace thought that she was bewitched and avoided them all. Her formerly luxurious Hehe Palace is now becoming a cold palace.

"He Jingyi! Yuan Yuhua! I hate you! I hate you!" In the cold and deep night of the harem, Concubine Hui, who was entangled in nightmares and was on the verge of going crazy, shouted the names of He Jingyi and the empress to relieve the resentment in her heart.

On the other side, in Zichen Palace and Changle Palace, He Jingyi, Shi Yuqing, Empress and Cheng Yingzong were sleeping peacefully, having a good night's dream.
